報告タイトル：Short and Longer Run Impacts of Management Training: The Case of Kaizen in Tanzania (by Yuki Higuchi and Tetsushi Sonobe)
要旨：
We conducted a randomized experiment among Tanzanian small garment enterprises to examine the impacts of short-term basic management training. Our training featured the Kaizen approach to production management and was taught in two different modes: one in classroom and the other on site. Using panel data collected before and after the training interventions, we find that our training programs improved entrepreneurs’ management capacity and such improvement remained significant at least for three years after the intervention. Although the training impact on business performance was not significant shortly after the training, it became significant two and three years later. Such business improvement can, at least partially, be explained by capital investment by the training participants. The time lag between the training intervention and the business improvement suggests the importance of collecting panel data in a long span to evaluate the impacts of management training.
研究会終了後に懇親会も予定していますので、こちらも是非ご参加ください。
